I'm not sure how this is related to moving the in_zpool/in_vdev from the
<disk_name> tag to the <disk> tag?
We will still be supporting the in_rpool/in_vdev on partitions and slices,
it's only the move from <disk_name> to <disk> that Drew is referring to.
Where you put the boot-loader should still be able to make the appropriate
decision about whether the partition is logical or not...
In fact, it's probably worth having the evaluation of that as part of the
Partition object, e.g.:
class Partition(DataObject):
...
@propertymethod
def is_logical(self):
part_num = int(self_name)
return part_num >= 5 and partnum <=32
or something similar.
Thanks,
Darren.
